Why do you need shoes? why not have foam grip/bar feet?

Have you ever tried flicking a kickflip with foam and bare feet? Short answer is because griptape gives you a nicer more direct/consistent grip/flick.

Nope. I have as much interest is wakeskating as you do landboarding.

Oh and next time someone's setting up a jib at woodies, fell free to give me a shout, been dying to get amongst it but there's never really an opportunity.

Only one way to find out. But it weirded me out enough as it was...

I've been thinking it would be cool to put a set of detachable trucks on a wake skate, then be able to skate down to the beach, take off the trucks and head out on the water. I'm not quite willing to put my cabrinha wake skate on the line to try it though.

To appreciate it you normally need to have listen to other similar genres to know why it sounds good. It isn't about simply appreciating harmonies but knowing why it sounds good within the context of the framework of other genres and styles. It's a break away from instrumental hip hop into a bit more of an abstract realm with a bit of techno fusion thrown in on the drums and ambient on the synths for good measure.

Music extends beyond the range of jimi hendrix guitar riffs and nickleback emotional whining (which I know r ur favs m8)... just because you haven't been bothered to explore it doesn't mean u r right bro.

I like the song, whats the title? I like it because it uses a sample of this girl saying I love you from another track but I can't remember what it is, it was from a mix with this song in it afaik:

Sick vid rowdster, i can see you got front bigspins down pretty tight... flipping on a board that wide though would be hard. Back lips look sick on that rail too and nice tweaked crail on that other vid, that scooter **** was lame tho haha How did you get the rail to stick under water like that? and how do you transport it home?

tranq as **** broooo

Huh??
It's just slowed down music from the 80's with a few sound effects thrown in.
